## Abstract Over the years hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings have been used to improve biologic properties of Ti‐based load bearing metal implants. However, applicability of HA coated implants is subjected to physical stability of the HA phase and mechanical integrity of the coating‐substrate interface.

## Abstract The modification on the titanium implant surface is an effective method to improve the biocompatibility of titanium. This article describes efforts to improve implant biocompatibility by applying titania and hydroxyapatite to form a three‐layer coating on the titanium surface. This thre
Nanosized hydroxyapatite (HA) powders were prepared by a chemical precipitation method and electrophoretically deposited on Ti6Al4V substrates. The powders were calcined before the deposition process in order to obtain crack-free coating surfaces. As an inner layer between Ti6Al4V substrate and HA c
## Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HA), heat‐treated hydroxyapatite (HAH), and fluorapatite (FA) coatings on titanium were loaded with human growth hormone (GH), and the subsequent release was monitored __in vitro__. The amount of GH released was significantly increased from the HA coating that had receiv
